Abstract:
This report documents a case of myeloid erythrophagocytosis in a patient with myeloproliferative disorder. The patient had pancytopenia and his marrow was hyperplastic with erythrophagocytosis by myeloid cells of various stages, including myeloblasts. He was diagnosed to have a prefibrotic stage of chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis. The erythrophagocytosis by myeloid cells persisted even after 2 months of treatment for the primary disorder.
